Title

Linguistic architecture on the workbench

Abstract

Abstract in English

Linguistic architecture complements the existing forms of modeling a software system by focusing on the exercised languages, the used technologies and the defined artifacts, as well as the relationships they participate in. In that sense megamodeling is used, viewing the given entities as models. In previous work, the MegaL language has been introduced in syntax and semantics, it provides a platform for megamodeling. Developing models in that language is not aided by an editor.

In this thesis, strong tool support based on robust frameworks is laid out. The existing syntax will be extended adding features for modularity and reusability, the model and its configuration are unified, inference of facts is supported by a reasoner framework, and a method to address in-memory objects in a model will be showcased. These features — provided by the developed Xtext based and Eclipse integrated editor — are demonstrated in the course of a case study on JAXB, a technology for Java\XML binding.
